All! indeed. Then there has been some
mistake. For while Democratic speakers and
editors have been urging revision of the
tariff, as a relief from the burden of war tax,
their opponents, the protectionists, have
raised their hands in holy horror at the cer-
taiaaty of commercial and financial ruin that
would speedily follow such policy. They
have wept tears of blood at the thought of the
manufacturing interests" being left widows
and the 'infant industries" orphans They
have sung in mournful numbers of the
Sse0ita6ze degradation of American labor to the
level of the European pauper. They have

MONTEAGLE ASSEMBLY
And Simmer Schools.

The announcement of the Mont
eagle Summer Schools, for the sea-
son of 1881, July 9th to Aug. 18th,
shows that arrangements have
been made for 10 schools, inclnd-
ing more than 40 different subjects
of study, to be taught by about 80
instructors. Besides this, there
are three courses Of lectures on
educational subjects, intended es-
pecially for the members of the
schools, and series of educational
conferences Oh important subjects.
The Assembly programme runs
contemporaneously with tn e
schools. The IL o'clock hour and
the evenings are given to it's lect-
ures and entertainments, and at
these hours there are no school
exercises. To all these the pupils
of the schools have free admission.
The schools are under the man
agement of an Executive Commit
tee, Of which Prof j. |. d. Kinds,
of Lebanon, Tenn, is chairman, and
DR.. VIM. Baskervill, and Prof. A.
ID. Wharton, both of Nashville
Tenn, are the other members
Those desiring further information
may address one these gentlemen
The following quotation from the
school circular will give an idea Of
the object Of the enterprise:
These Schools offer to teachers and intel
lectual people place where they can spenc
the heated term of each year, combining stud,
with rest and recreation in delightful ant
inexpensive mountain resort, free from all So
cial dissipation. Each department is in thu
hands of specialist, and the work Of til,
Schools is Of the highest order. The scope
Of the Schools will be extended, and new sub
jects will be added as fast as the means at til,
command OF the committee will permit.
The Schools have double purpose: (. Thu
training Of teachers. Each class is intended
to be model one, not only mparting instruc
ton, but also illustrating the best methods o
teaching. 2. The giving Of higher instruc
ton and offering the pupils facilities whicl
are not within their reach at home. This enc
is attained partly by the general class work
and partly by private instruction.

At the present time the death
sentence is carried out by hang
ing or beheading in every Euope-
an State except Spain. In Spain
condemned persons are executed
by means of the garrOte, a steel
collar with a screw, which is
turned until it enters the spinal
marrow at the base of the brain.
If the operation is skilfully per-
formed death is instantaneous, but
much agony has sometimes been
caused by the bungling of the
executioner. Hanging is t h e
death punishment throughout the
British Empire, except in the case
of soldiers, who are shot. / n
France persons condemned to
death have, since the Revolution,
been dispatched by the guillotine,
and in most of the German States
beheading is also favored. In
Austria hanging is the mode of
execution.
